Postcard: Hyderabad, India

Pictures just aren't enough when it comes to capturing the atmosphere of India. The colors, sights, sounds and energy of Hyderabad, India, centrally located technology hub, can only truly be experienced with the senses. Hyderabad has a burgeoning tech scene, with tech titans like Google and Microsoft setting up shop in the city. Although the companies of the future have made Hyderabad its home, the city still has the classic Indian charm one would expect upon arrival.

For a first-time visitor, the surging population and crowded streets can cause an extreme case of sensory overload. From the hustle and bustle of Old City to the busy sidewalks, street vendors and incessant honking, a simple walk across a street in India is both frightening and exhilarating. Some say India is poverty-stricken and corruption filled; others say it's a photographer's paradise with colors on every corner. This postcard series takes you through the city of Hyderabad for a glimpse of the history, color and culture.
